ZDNet and Zemlin are both funded by and connected to Microsoft
All the fluff about OIN and the Linux Foundation is paid for. It's a priority because of money.
The business model (other than advertising for companies like Microsoft). Jim Zemlin's PAC openly admits paying so-called 'news' sites to parrot the press releases. These folks brag about this in sponsorship brochures.
Summary: In ZDNet, all the latest 5 "articles" about "Linux" are just spam/puff pieces for the Linux Foundation (screenshot above), a front group of monopolies and foes of the GPL. ZDNet's Steven Vaughan-Nichols also defamed the person behind the GPL. Follow through to narratives.zdnet.com and find: "Through ZDNet Narratives, our advertising partners tell their comprehensive product and solutions stories" (so it's not journalism but narratives for sale or coin-operated pundits who cover what the sponsors tell them to)
Image source unknown; there's this new letter in support of RMS (to quote, "June 24, 2022. Added a letter in support of Richard Stallman by Francisca Pacheco López.")
